Default Has my A/F changed much?

So I tuned my setup with a stock exhaust and have recently upgraded to a 2.5 all the way back. Wondering if my a/f has really changed enough to worry about running a bit lean. I know I need to get on a wb to really tell but any input is appreciated.

the only thing i can think of is if it is getting some boost creep now and you tuned it at say 8 psi, then maybe you would need to tune the cells from 8-10 psi if its hitting more boost....but if its not boost creeping at all it should be fine...

did you notice a power increase?

if it was severe enough to notice on the butt dyno i would say yes...get a wideband on it to at least check where you are at.

If you tuned it conservatively before though...you should be relatively fine now

Cold and freeing flowing exhaust dont make for a good combo...dont rape your motor, you may be running lean. pay attention and listen carefully for detonation.

Yeah I've been told but I can't help it, everytime I see drive pavement :P. It's definately making more power but new exhaust is louder now so I can't even hear ping anymore. I'm going to have to start laying off it till I retune.
